Benchmark numbers are relative to VAX 11/780 = 1.0, so higher numbers are
better.  The programs gcc, espresso, spice, doduc, nasa7, ll, eqntolt,
matrix300, fpppp and tomcatv are real programs, not synthetic or toy codes.
The SPECmark is the geometric mean of the ten benchmark programs (the Nth
root of the product of the membmers of a list with 10 members). 

An examination of the numbers would lead one to conclude  that the benchmarks
are heavily affected by the system as a whole, not just the processor.  Such
things as cache size/speed, memory speed and disk access speed must contribute
significantly to the results.

Also, the 88k systems typically have 1/4 as much cache as some of the competing
Rx000 and SPARC systems (32k versus 128k), even though the 88k is quite
capable of supporting 128k of cache.

If someone could supply more information about each benchmark, and each
system (cache size, CPU clock rate, etc), that might prove enlightening.
